Partner Also Rose to #93 On ENR’s Exclusive “Top 100 Pure Designers” List
Torrance, CA – Partner Engineering and Science, Inc. has placed #109 on Engineering News-Record’s (ENR) Top 500 Design Firms list, rising from #113 last year. This advancement reflects the continued expansion of the company’s design capabilities across the built environment and ground-up construction market.
Partner also climbed to #93 on ENR’s exclusive “Top 100 Pure Designers” list, improving three spots from its debut appearance last year at #96. The continued upward movement highlights the successful expansion of the company’s solutions business and reinforces its position as a leader in design excellence. Rankings are based on reported 2025 revenue.
“Moving up again in both rankings reflects the momentum we’re building across our engineering, environmental, and energy practices,” said CEO Joe Derhake, PE. “We’re finding a foothold in delivering design and consulting services that move at the speed of CRE. We’re answering that call by heavily investing in services that support development and optimization of real estate – everything from construction support services to capital management programs and improving building performance. There’s a lot of exciting things happening, and it’s rewarding to see that progress recognized by ENR.”
With involvement in approximately 20% of all commercial real estate (CRE) transactions in the U.S. and over 3,000 construction projects each year, Partner’s risk management services and business-focused solutions provide critical support to commercial real estate owners and investors.
As transaction volumes have fluctuated in recent years, Partner has expanded its focus on services that support asset and facility management for owners and occupiers seeking to improve building performance and efficiency. With a focus on bringing pragmatic solutions to complicated cleanups, the company’s environmental solutions business has also seen nationwide expansion.
Despite challenges in the ground-up construction market, Partner’s development support services like geotechnical investigations and land survey coordination have seen rapid expansion as real estate stakeholders prioritize efficiency and single-source partnerships. As the nation wrestles with unprecedented energy demands, Partner’s power generation and infrastructure practice has grown, bringing more renewable and resilient energy to the grid.
Supporting this growth, Partner continues to invest in technology solutions such as SiteLynx, its client platform that saves time, empowers decisions, and enables action.
Partner remains committed to investing in talent, technology, and service diversification to sustain its growth trajectory and further strengthen its leadership position in the design and consulting industry.
